Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak pledged to find ways to allow people from all Jewish religious streams to “feel full partnership” in Israeli life. Barak made his comments in a speech at the Conservative movement’s Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies in Israel. The speech is believed to be Barak’s first appearance before a non-Orthodox movement since taking office earlier this year.
